Biotech Fluidics has introduced a new range of miniature flat-bottom port fittings designed for life science microfluidic instruments that handle low liquid volumes in limited space environments.

Flat-bottom ports are widely used for connecting semi-rigid tubing in fluidic systems operating at low to medium pressures. The new miniature fittings from Biotech Fluidics combine convenience with performance, with options to effectively secure tubing of multiple outer diameters into traditional, flat bottom receiving ports.

According to the company, the fittings feature a novel ferrule that seals the liquid path, together with a lock ring that holds the ferrule in place and ensures a leak-free and sturdy connection when the nut is tightened. This unique design holds tight even through vibrations and allows tightening of the nut without twisting the tubing.

Constructed in PEEK for excellent biocompatibility, these new fittings are precision-designed to interface and integrate microfluidic systems, ensuring controlled fluid flow. In addition, they offer efficient pathways, excellent flow uniformity and tight seals enabling you to achieve reliable, repeatable results, the company added.

Biotech Fluidics, headquartered in Onsala, Sweden, is a global provider of fluidic system solutions, liquid transfer components, degassing systems, and laboratory technologies for instrument developers, manufacturers, and distributors worldwide.
